Sewer Improvement Projects

SASD implements necessary infrastructure improvements to
ensure the safe and reliable performance of the sewer system.
This section provides information about current projects that may
affect our customers.

SASD’s Rosemont Pump Station is located on the north side of
Kiefer Boulevard just west of South Port Drive (see map). It is
one of 106 pump stations that SASD owns and operates. The aging
station has civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural
components that no longer meet SASD’s operating standards. As a
result, a new pump station is now being built on the current site
to replace the old equipment.

When complete, the Rosemont Pump Station will feature more
efficient pumps and modern controls. The new station will also be
safer for the maintenance crews who keep the station in good
working order.

Ultimately, the project will allow SASD to continue to provide
reliable sewer service for the community in the decades to come.

Schedule

Project construction is underway. If all goes according to plan,
the work is anticipated to be complete by summer 2019. Work
hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Construction Impacts

As always, every effort will be made to minimize impacts to
adjacent neighbors and the community. Typical impacts during
these kinds of projects include noise, dust, vibration, and odor.
Temporary traffic controls may be necessary during equipment
delivery or when construction vehicles are accessing the site.
Impacts will generally be limited to the immediate area
surrounding the station.

No Interruption in Sewer Service

Construction will not interrupt sewer service, and street access
to residents’ homes will be maintained at all times.

Safety First

For public and worker safety, access to the sidewalk near the
pump station may be restricted from time to time. While most
activities will occur inside the pump station, please use caution
around the facility.

The aging Capitola Pump Station located between Capitola Avenue
and Earnscliff Avenue in Fair Oaks is in need of
replacement. As one of 106 pump stations that SASD owns and
operates, the aging facility is in need of replacement. This
project will replace all components in the pump station and
install a new wet well and valve vault. The project will
also include replacing the headwall in the culvert under the
station, installing a new curb and guardrail along the driveway,
building a new retaining wall, and paving new asphalt. When
complete, the new pump station will allow SASD to continue to
provide reliable sewer service to the community for decades to
come.

Schedule

The project is anticipated to take about two years to design and
construct. Initial site investigations and design of the new
facilities will take most of the rest of 2019, after which
construction will begin in early 2020.

Current Activities

Our project engineers and design consultants are
accessing the site and its immediate surroundings to conduct
a topographic survey, geotechnical analysis, and field
investigations. These ongoing activities will provide the
information we need to design the new pump station.

Community Impacts

When our team accesses the site during this initial phase, there
should only be minimal noise or disruption, as we will primarily
be performing surveys and measurements. Residents may see smaller
vehicles or trucks and a few people with safety vests coming and
going. Before construction begins, we will update residents on
what to expect while the new pump station is being built.

No Interruption in Sewer Service

Sewer service interruptions are not expected during this project.
Residents will be able to continue to use water and flush
toilets, as usual.

Keeping Residents Informed

SASD is committed to ensuring residents are kept fully informed
prior to and during construction. We will communicate through a
variety of methods, including in person and via doorhanger
notifications, mailers, and project website updates.

SASD is committed to to providing a website that is accessible to
the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or
ability. If you are having trouble accessing information on this
site, or if you would like to bring a site issue to our
attention, please send
us a message.
